this windows 10 monthly update is taking really long to install
>>
>>109278177
It's a fat update. It includes around 540+ vulnerability fixes they found with LLMs focused entirely on finding them in legacy code.
>>
>>109278182
>fixes they found with LLMs
Uh oh
Are the sloppa patches going to break my system?
>>
>>109278207
It's a big industry now, ever since that one catastrophic bug was found with Claude Fable. So many LLMs being made that all they do is scan legacy code and find vulnerabilities. Like I've installed it and even though it took a little longer then usual it's all good on my end.
>>
>>109278207
If they only used the LLM to find the issues and did proper code reviews for the fixes then it's not an issue, it's how software development is going to be from now on. An LLM can parse massive codebases and find vulnerabilities better than any human can, but as long as the human verifies these findings to be true and then a human writes the code to fix them, then it becomes a beautiful synergy leading to actual quality code.

Basically, LLM vulnerability searching is not a bad thing in itself, it's how the entire work chain around it is realized that is the make-or-break between the next paradigm in coding and a next disaster in the making.
>>
>>109278494
IIRC MS have their own LLM suite for just this purpose called MDASH.

>>109276918
Maybe they're tired about off-topic garbage pictures in the catalog? Who knows.

What do we think of REFS? Is anyone using it?
>>
>>109278822
"We" don't think anything. This is /fwt/, not some Reddit hivemind.
-I- think it has some really neat features that are great in an enterprise setting.
Probably not a great choice for your average /g/tard though - since nobody here ever, EVER does backups, the fact that tools/recovery software for ReFS are very primitive next to NTFS is going to be a problem next time you have a SATA cable that shits itself or something.

I'm still laughing at that "Why RAID-5 stops working in 2009" article from 20 years back.

Real people, not /g/ NPCs - they fall for anything because they're stupid.
>>
>>109278822
You shouldn't really use ReFS on a home system. It's made for enterprise and mainly for Hyper-V and Veeam shit.

You can just get the CS6 release off of 1337x if you don't care about release age.
>>
>>109278925
I should've mentioned I already have CS6 but After Effects in particular is REALLY bad pre-CC2018. Is software on 1337x really safe tho? I use it for movies and the like but Idk
>>
>>109278933
The CS6 release on there with many seeds has been there for over a decade it's fine.
But otherwise for Adobe piracy there's m0nkrus's releases or GenP, though IIRC GenP stopped being developed but it might still work.

Is anyone familiar with tools like RadeonTuner or Radeon Software Slimmer? Are they a bettern alternative than the standard Adrenalin app?
>>
>>109280781
RadeonSoftwareSlimmer is great if you want to remove shit like telemetry from the stock driver package, plus other background task shit.
Like using NVCleanstall for NVIDIA, I'd say you should always debloat your AMD drivers with it.
>>
>>109280826
Ok I will try it when I'll eventually upgrade my gpu then, is there some particular guide I should check out? Also, is it fine to just use software slimmer and avoiding adrenalin altogether?
>>
>>109280855
I think you can still include Adrenalin if you want, though IIRC it needs some components kept to work. Though there's other programs you could use that could do what Adrenalin can like FanControl or MSI Afterburner.

NTA but can you just disable everything except for HD Audio or?
>>
>>109281164
The default driver package allows you to just install the driver (and background services) so you don't really need much at all.
Might be a good idea to screenshot the list and plug it into Google AI Mode or something just to let you know what's what.

Linuxfag here,
How do I enable DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS for Windows 10? all the tutorials I found are for Windows 11, I'm doing this for my brother who is still running Windows 10.
On Linux I just install unbound and configure it as a local dns server with DoT enabled, can I just use unbound on windows the same way i do on linux?
this is my unbound.conf btw:
server:
interface: 127.0.0.1
tls-cert-bundle: "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/lib/unbound/root.key"

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-tls-upstream: yes
forward-first: no
forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853#dns.quad9.net
forward-addr: 149.112.112.112@853#dns.quad9.net

What would be the equivalent windows path for "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" and "/var/lib/unbound/root.key" ?

Okay, silly question inbound...
I have a shitty Dell desktop ex-business machine that had Win11 pre-installed, it died.
Now I'm trying to install Win10 with "en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f.iso"
I've downloaded this ISO twice and both times, when it finishes the DL, it gets scrubbed and then downloads all over again.
What the hell am I doing wrong?
>>
>>109284874
You mean you can't even finish downloading the ISO? That's very weird
I just tried downloading it from Massgrave and the download went perfectly
>>
>>109284982
It downloads but then downloads again, overwriting the ISO, as though it is in a loop.
I need to fix the Dell machine before this laptop dies, which doesn't seem to far away.
Here's the plan:
>dl the win10 iso to laptop
>transfer it to my 2tb external
>install win10 w/ rufus on Dell machine
Why is something that should be so simple, being so difficult?
It's the first ISO that I have experienced any issue with.
>>
>>109285119
>Why is something that should be so simple, being so difficult?
It's a you problem, because it downloads perfectly fine here
Have you tried downloading it with a different browser? If you were using a Chromium based browser, try with a Firefox one, and vice versa
You are downloading it from here, right?:
https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links
>>
>>109285260
>https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links
Yes.
I know it's a "me" problem, that's why I'm posting here asking what "I" am doing wrong.
I'll try with FF.
>>
>>109283999
Sadly there's no a reliable way because the driver ecosystem in Windows is a clusterfuck. There is an option in Windows Update to include driver updates, but it's not perfect and manufacturers make it even worse by shoving bloatware into their driver updates so...

FireFox worked and I have a solid copy of it on my laptop.
Now I have to transfer it to my external drive (which apparently needs to be clean, because the ISO or something will wipe the drive).
I better re-watch some youtube videos about installing Windows with rufus, because I am clearly just winging it and partially drunk/retard.
Fingers crossed.
